Essay Writing Class 2011


This will be my final post of the 2011 school year for my Essay Writing class at Tsurumi University. My 18 students in 2011 did a great job of writing and sticking with the program for an entire school year. This elective class met 1st period, which is a little early for some people, but somehow they managed to attend and produce great work. They should be proud of what they accomplished, and hopefully, writing in English will be a skill they can develop further as they progress in their studies and their careers. You will find links below to some of the essays they wrote this year and which were posted on this site during the course of 2011. Restaurant reviews are on a separate site, Tsurumi Eats! Thanks for visiting!
